Good evening all, New member here. I bought a 2012 XJ L Portfolio about 7 months ago. First cat and I'm in love. She just recently sprung a coolant leak and according to the local shop, it's a hose up under the intake manifold. I'm wondering if anyone here has replaced this themselves on the newer models? The shop wants about $1300, I'm assuming most of that is labor. Fighting with the warranty company since they said that this is not covered (killing me). Looking forward to any advice and or expertise. I am fairly mechanically inclined. Just wonder if this would be worth picking the car up and doing this myself or cough up the $1300 and try to get the warranty folks to reimburse me.
Thanks in advance.
DG

Hello, DG,
These cats do get under our skin!
I'm sorry yours is already hacking up a hair-ball.
